How to Use Geomembrane in the Oil and Gas Petrochemical Industry and Field?

The application of geomembrane HDPE in engineering has a history of more than 60 years. The earliest use country can be traced back to the United States in 1930. Later, Italy, the former Soviet Union, and other countries have also used it one after another. The application of geomembrane HDPE in my country lags behind, but the development is very rapid. Today, it has developed into various fields and industries such as water conservancy, transportation, petrochemical, construction, etc. This article only introduces its characteristics and application in oil fields. This paper, by studying the characteristics of geomembrane, highlights its application in the petroleum industry and the benefits it brings.

Since the reform and opening up, my country’s economy has developed. With the continuous construction and development of large state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, such as the growing number of large petrochemical enterprises, my country’s GDP has increased hundreds of times. In the chemical industry, geomembrane, as the most critical anti-seepage material in the main anti-seepage system, has been paid more and more attention and is used to prevent its pollution to the ecological environment and threats to people’s health.

HDPE geomembrane is used to avoid pollutants polluting groundwater and destroying the ecological environment. Storage tanks in petroleum refineries and depots often hold large quantities of petroleum and industrial liquids, hydrocarbons. These industrial liquids are often corrosive, and if leakage occurs, it will have an impact on the surrounding soil environment. What are the functions of HDPE geomembrane used in the petroleum field?
